Some combo lunar and solar eclipses i guess.

She said it's wild how such horrible people were born during an eclipse

I said wow crazy coincidence, Then i asked if all US presidents were born during an eclipse.

She said that's a whataboutism.

I was going to say astrology is confirmation bias, since she only brings up the coincidences and never the non coincidences. But luckily my autism isnt so severe that i said that.

I have a vague recollection of hooking up with a girl years and years ago and she had tarot cards in her room so asked her to do a reading as a joke and all I remember about that day now was that it led to her crying and we did not have sex.

I no longer mess with the occult weirdness in some people.

Damn that sucks

You were counting on those Tarot cards to seal the deal, and instead they cock-blocked you. The Supernatural is a cruel wingman.

I find tarot more forgivable because for the people I know who use it, it's mostly just a way of randomizing symbols and then using whatever comes up as a jumping off point to reflect on their life. Astrology bothers me more because even the casual adherents seem to be boxing people into crude personality types and predetermining their relationships with other people based on star signs.
